MAX oPrENi-IEIMER, or HEIDELBERG, GERMANY.

EXTENSION-TROUSERS.

Application filed March 2'?, 1917.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, MAX OrrENHniMEi-z, a subject of the German Emperor, and residing at Heidelberg, in the German Einpire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Extension-Trousers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in trousers and more particularly to the culf thereof, which cuff may be reversed or turned in so that trousers of two different appearances may be embodied in one trousers by, when turning the cuff into the outside position, to have trousers with cuff, and when the saine is turned into the inner position, or reversed position, thercu7 becomes invisible and an ordinary pair of street trousers is -presented to view.

So that my invention may be more readily understood l have appended hereunto one sheet of drawing in which Figure l is a view of the lower part of the trousers leg showing` my invention applied thereto and in which view the cuff is turned to the outside position.

Fig. 2 is a similar view but showing the trousers cuff in the reversed or turned in position.

Briefly, the invention comprises trousers leg o with a cuif a secured thereto by means of a strip c and o which strip is of any convenient material and is in the shape of a U, such strip being very flexible at its innermost end.

The cu a, is secured to one arin c of the Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 24, 1920.

Serial No. 157,798.

said strip, the lower edge of the cuff projecting below the lowermost part of the strip so thatthe saine may not be visible from the outside. The other edge or arm of the strip is secured to the inner side of the trousers leo' Z) in such a manner that when the cuff is folded into its inner position, as shown in Fig. 2f, the lower edge of the trousers leg Z) projects below the outermost portion of the U strip.

From the above it will be seen that I have provided a. trousers leg with a reversible cuit, which is simpler and more e'lhcient than the usual reversible cuff, andin which the trousers leg will present a perfectly natural position whether the cuff should be in the turned in or turned out position.

Having described my invention, what I claim is zY A reversible cud for trousers including, the leg of a trousers, a circuinferentially extending. U-shaped iiexible strip, having its outer upper edge secured to the lower edge of the inner face of the trouser leg, and a cuff strip secured adjacent its lower edge to the inner face of the outer side of the U- shaped strip, whereby, when said cuit is moved to a position adjacent the lower edge ofthe trousers leg on its outer face, the same will be retained in applied position and present to all outward appearances a couventional trousers cui.

In testimony whereof I ailix my signature.

MAX OPPENHEMER.
